Más información sobre el libro

The narrative vividly describes the striking marble pyramid near Porta San Paolo in Rome, traditionally believed to be the tomb of Remus but actually belonging to Caius Cestius. This ancient structure, standing resilient amidst Rome's ruins, evokes a sense of timelessness. It is celebrated not just for its historical significance but also for its proximity to John Keats's grave, a place that inspires reflection on beauty and mortality. The imagery of flowers blooming over Keats's resting place resonates with his appreciation for nature and the poignant connection between life and death.
